Shady O' Grady's Rising Star is a single-player RPG set in the world of music. The road to glory won't be an easy one. First, you'll have to form your band, with bandmates rated for their playing, songwriting, stage presence, production, repair, and business skills. Next it's time to put those skills to use, touring the American landscape in a beat-up old van and building up your cred with gigs. At the same time there are other bands out -- ultimately there's only one spot for number one.

Shady O' Grady's Rising Star features over ten genres of music, from straight up rock-n- roll to ska and folk. The game also features extensive customization and modding abilities. Full editors are included for modifying the look of your characters, changing the map, adding or modifying equipment, and more! Even import your favorite MP3s into the soundtrack.

Make band decisions based on your musicians' Inspiration, Health, Happiness, and Ego levels

Dynamic musician attitude system - recruit compatible musicians, and kick out egotistical musicians living in their own private Idaho that no longer get along. Unhappy and uninspired musicians may quit on their own
